Gwyneth Paltrow has brittle bones -- and needs more sun.
In her newsletter, she recently told the story of fracturing her leg, going to doctors, and being diagnosed with osteopenia, a precursor to osteoperosis. Her doctors said her Vitamin D levels were "the lowest they had ever seen". Gwyneth's reaction to being told to get more sun? Much like anyone else's who has heard scary headline after scary headline on the dangers of sun exposure: "I was curious if this was safe, having been told for years to stay away from its dangerous rays, not to mention a tad bit confused."
She includes an essay which is one of the clearest articulations I've read on the benefits of Vitamin D and sensible sun exposure. Read the whole thing here.
